  • Patent number: 11985259
    Abstract: A multi-die device a first die containing a plurality of first die signal path elements configured to propagate a stimulus signal and a second die containing a plurality of second die signal path elements configured to propagate the stimulus signal. The multi-die device further includes an interposer configured to establish signal communication between the first die and the second die so as to deliver the stimulus signal from the plurality of first die signal path elements to the plurality of second die signal path elements to generate a propagation delay. The propagation delay is used to generate a single unified PUF response that is indicative of the authenticity of the multi-die device.

  • Patent number: 5670875
    Abstract: An angular position sensor is provided with a rotatable magnet and first and second ferromagnetic pole pieces. The first ends of the ferromagnetic pole pieces are disposed on opposite sides of the rotatable permanent magnet and the second ends of the ferromagnetic pole pieces are arranged in overlapping association with a magnetically sensitive component disposed therebetween. First and second ferromagnetic inserts are provided which are movable with respect gaps between the permanent magnet and the first ends of the first and second pole pieces. By changing the relative positions between the first and second inserts and their respective gaps, the gain and offset of an output signal from the magnetically sensitive component can be altered to achieve predetermined characteristics.
